You ever think that maybe farm/grazing fields are the reason rural homes are spaced so far apart?

Regardless, cars definitely contribute to climate change, but they're a drop in the bucket compared to industrial pollution. It makes me wonder why there isn't the same level of hyper fixation on replacing those technologies with carbon neutral solutions as replacing personal vehicles. Let's just keep those enormous cargo ships burning bunker fuel 24/7. Hell, even large scale meat farms are quite dangerous, as methane is even worse than CO2. You'd think there'd be more of a focus on regulating and slowing down large scale meat production.

If you can't get people to drop cars, you aren't going to get them to drop meat for meat alternatives. Its just the piece of our culture that has been deemed easier to change since there are alrsady successful examples of it across the world. Meanwhile, what country has no meat industry and provides a first world standard of living? It may exist, I dont think so though.

Yes, I do think they are further apart due to farms and grazing. My family has a farm in Alabama that has been slowly shrinking because of costs. Does every house out there have its own farm? No! Some of the land plots for newer builds were sold off from my family's farm, meaning it now envelopes the newer property. Are they still spaced far enough apart that you can't even tell someone else lives on the property? Of course they are!

Either way, we'll have these conversations until you and I are rubbing elbows on the $5 per half mile ride share to the corpse starch manufactorum.
